== [[Board of Trustees]] term limits ==

Hi. Since you noticed my edits to [[Board of Trustees]] and I was looking for someone to talk to about them... I think the reason some of the term limits at [[Board of Trustees]] were marked as July instead of September is explained by [[m:Special:Permalink/15286278#Current members]]. My guess is that some members are appointed to seats that will presumably be filled/re-appointed at Wikimania. Wikimania usually takes place in July, but if for some reason Wikimania doesn't take place in July or if the Board doesn't have a suitable candidate by then, there are a few extra months of padding in the appointment resolutions before the seats go vacant. That's my working theory, anyway.

I was trying to figure out if we needed to capture this potential nuance in the infobox and/or if each Board member entry on [[Board of Trustees]] should reference their relevant appointment resolutions. If you have any thoughts, let me know.

(Yes, I'm posting to your talk page here. It feels weird to post about this on your English Wikipedia talk page. We already have cross-wiki notifications in the form of an e-mail inbox, as I like to point out. ;-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 23:08, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
